If there is good evidence for the existence of God, it has not been presented. In my view it is illogical to accept something as true with such limited, reliable or testable data to go on. Religions cannot even agree amongst themselves on the definition of God, let alone what qualifies as proof of such an entity's existence.
What logical steps would you suggest that we take, in order to determine that the claims made by Christianity are true? Christianity itself is not illogical, as we can use logical steps to examine what it is. however, the claims that Christians make are illogical, quite simply, because they do not follow a logical path. An example of this is as follows:
The bible is the infallible word of God
Therefore God exists.
In this example the person arguing for the existence of the Christian God jumps right from a preposition to a conclusion. It's a simple example, but it shows one of the fundamental logical flaws in the Christian argument. In between the preposition and conclusion, once must take the logical step of proving that the preposition is true; otherwise it is just an unsupported opinion. To date, no one has been able to fill in the black space.
